abnormalities can be diagnosed. Gender and the presence of more than one cell line (mosaicism) can also be determined. Indications include diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities in fetuses of women who are of advanced maternal age, had a previous child with a chromosome abnormality, parental carrier of a balanced translocation, inversion or marker chromosome, parental mosaicism and follow-up for abnormal maternal serum alpha fetoprotein or maternal screening results.
